The message on my undergrad cap reads, "Education does not change the world. Education changes people. People change the world" - Paulo Freire

I grew up in Stockton, CA. I now live in Marina, CA. It's a small, foggy coastal town north of Monterey. I travel south five days a week and work as an inclusion facilitator at Monterey Bay Charter School. I officially started there at the beginning of the 2018-19 school year. I was a substitute teacher before that, and a Public Health research assistant before that. I am beyond happy to have the opportunity to be a part of the MBCS Resource Team as I pursue my Education Specialist credential and MA in Education. I am looking forward learning about how to use effective teaching strategies for students, and how such strategies can help students of all needs meet their goals.

We met while working at Home Depot. It was my second year at CSU Monterey Bay. I changed my major several times before sticking to Human Communication. Throughout every change of mind, Martin has always been supportive of my endeavours.

My furry loves, Kasha (Torbie) and Claude (Tuxedo). They are finally starting to get along and it warms my heart.
